Learn game's rules or pay a heavy price
Sports, Published on 03/09/2025
» Not knowing the basic rules of golf will hurt you sooner or later. I learnt the hard way when playing in a tournament on a rainy, very wet, day after finding my drive stuck in the fairway, and being young, naive and uneducated on the rules, I tried to play it -- only to realise later that I was entitled to a free drop. After an almighty swipe I managed to move the ball down the fairway but ultimately it cost me a bogey as opposed to an easy par or birdie chance. Although this experience cost me a stroke and money the real pain came from the considerable embarrassment I felt of not understanding the rules of a game I was playing for a living. How stupid and thick I felt, and this wonderful example of being a complete moron I wish to share, so nobody else has to go through the indignation of total stupidity. It still haunts me when I recall this failing to comprehend a basic rule.

» There are a few venues in our game that I would call cathedrals of golf -- Pebble Beach, Augusta National, St Andrews obviously, and maybe a few more that you could add in there. They mean a bit more than others which is probably to do with the history and the golfers who have won on those courses, and what those people have meant to the game of golf.
